Tune In To Fashion Neurosis With Bella Freud

Fashion has long been considered a mode of self-expression – but how much of it makes up our identity? That’s the question designer Bella Freud seeks to answer in her podcast, Fashion Neurosis. Inviting a new guest each episode to ‘lie on the couch’, Freud explores the conversations and messages we convey through our clothes. The latest instalment, which dropped just last week, features musician RM (who you might better know as the leader of K-pop supergroup BTS). Together, the two dive deep into his muses across fashion, art and music – as well as what makes a truly impressive airport outfit. (And for more Bella Freud, don’t miss out on grabbing tickets for Susie Cave and Bella Freud in Conversation, a new event at this year’s Chelsea Arts Festival where the pair explore creativity, style, motherhood and the role beauty and art can play in surviving loss.) Listen to the episode here, and check out more fashion podcasts the C&TH team are loving here.

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Assume you have to leave London to go on scenic walks. Across the capital there are plenty of spots for urban hiking, a trend which involves intentionally exploring city landscapes through planned routes. Traverse London’s famous art walk The Line, or head to Epping Forest, where you’ll find over 8,000 acres of land to explore.
